Today is week one, and I will be staying here in Trinidad again. I will be staying here in Valsayn for another one. Elder Riter is going back down to Guyana for his last transfer. My new companion will be Elder Stott. I am really excited about this transfer. Elder Stott and I have been talking about being companions since the MTC. Oddly, of the four of us from the MTC group, the two of us are the first to be companions with one another.
Yesterday we drove out to POS to teach Carlos and Gustavo, and now Carlos wife, Barbara. We talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and about baptism and the Holy Ghost. We weren't really sure what to expect with Barbara since we hadn't met her yet. We introduced the Book of Mormon to her briefly and shared some scriptures from it, and she was really into the lesson, and SUPER attentive. She just seemed amazed. Unfortunately, we thought we had some Spanish copies of the Book of Mormon in the back of the car, but we didn't. However, at the end of the lesson, we were talking with Carlos and he said "Please, when you come back, bring her a Book of Mormon, I want her to read it too" He really loves the Book of Mormon, and what we've taught him so far. We are SO excited about these two. They just need to officially get married, and then we can do it. The two of them are pretty elect.
Otherwise, this week was pretty much basic. We had a great teaching visit with the Elders from Arima. I spent a couple of hours with Elder Raymond again, and we got to do two hours of contacting in the rain. But I'm really grateful though because it hasn't rained hard here for like 3 months now.
We had our recent convert, Samantha, and her whole family come to church this week because her brother got ordained to be the ward executive secretary. That included one of her sisters that isn't a member, which we started teaching recently, named Yorianny.
There are a bunch of missionaries coming through the island headed to different countries. So this week we are going to be running a lot of people to and from the airport. Should be fun..
Have a great week!
Elder Porritt
